If you disassemble it and drill another hole, you can get almost 11 3/4" out of it, but not 12" Oh sure, you can go up to 30" (I believe) but who is going to run 30" x 11" wheels? I would rather pay more and get a tool that is more useful. The wire they supplied to get the shape of the tire won't even snap into the mounting holes without using pliers. It's overpriced at $29.95 let alone$89.95 Anybody want mine?

Perry,

I'll keep you posted as to what I can build one for. I should have the first one in a couple weeks. The first one is being done in spare time, but we are keeping track of hours after what I have seen in these posts. Stay tuned!
